Managers play a key part in convincing players to join a club and to hear the specific managers plans for play style, game time etc. You could see from Willians own comments about his relief when he heard silva was staying (and was clearly stalling prior while negotiation, its possible this played a part) and Robinsons comments "hoping to see other staff commit to the project" that theres been some questions about wether it would or wouldn't happen. Its much harder to attract a player to the club if the manager isn't clearly committed to the ongoing project.

It could easily alter the specific players we go harder after and whoever we bring in may wish to play a completely different style and system requiring different types of players.Ģ. It's not irrelevant, it's actually really relevant, asġ. In fairness we are always far too slow in the transfer market. Whether he stays or goes is irrelevant, we still need to boost the size of the squad.

Hopefully now that he has in the last week made clear he is staying the club can step up their recruitment.
